In 2016, Kilchoman Sanaig joined the distillery’s global core lineup. Sadly temporarily out of stock. This is a sherry bomb of a whisky, mostly matured in Oloroso sherry casks (with some bourbon barrels in the mix as well), for an undisclosed amount of time. There is a healthy dose of peat on the palate as well, as you’d expect from an Islay distillery, but that element is rounded off and tempered by notes of citrus, salt, and fruit on the palate. A handsome release from Islay’s newest distillery. It’s a more sherried alternative for the Kilchoman Machir Bay which is not sherried.
